Mandella had the right idea

Mandela had the right idea for sure. How can the law get justice for crimes of a repugnant nature, That are bought to light 30 or forty years in the future, When evidence is scarce by nature, And either party having a lapse of memory that has no cure, With either party now believing their own lie as a fact of which, they are sure. In these sorts of cases money may or not be the motivator, And we may be looking at justice through a dirty window pain, With Justice not looking to have much to gain, With no side able to point to a reliable indicator. So, we come back to Mandela having the right idea, With a truth and reconciliation forum, To encourage an atmosphere where forgiveness is more than an idea, And truth can be seen once more to bloom, With healing now the only worthy sum, To be pursued at all costs at such a forum. On this for me the jury is well and truly in, Hopefully never to be recalled, With each member free of such an impossible task, Of being just to either party after 30 or forty years.
